The brave service members who fought on D-Day represent the Greatest Generation in our history.
Together, they stood to oppose the forces of fascism, volunteered to lay down their lives for our liberty, and answered freedom’s call at its hour of greatest need.
And today, on the 80th anniversary of D-Day, I met with 41 World War II veterans in Normandy to honor their service. Together we remember their sacrifice and recommit to the future they fought for – one grounded in freedom, democracy, equality, and opportunity for all.
On this day, 80 years ago, Allied forces landed on the beaches of Normandy, France. Among the thousands of Allied troops were a handful of U.S. Marines who played a noteworthy but little-known role.
Today, we remember the sacrifices made by all those involved in the D-Day landings.
On this day 80 years ago, more than 5,000 ships and landing craft delivered 150,000 troops to five beaches in Normandy. 4,440 Allied soldiers lost their lives on D-Day - the first day of Operation Overlord, which ultimately brought about the liberation of German-occupied Western Europe.
